The evening world., 1887-12-28

A slight tremor shook Dora Austin's frame,
and her CHASTITY lips quivered an instant.
But only for an instant. She had risen now
and was addressing Melville, who listened
pefed, doubtless, by the dreadful import of
what she uttered.
THAT man, Melville, is my husband. Five
years ago, before you and / had ever met,
poverty had reduced my mother and myself
to the last stages of want. On my mothers
death, and while | was still almost q child in
years. Mark Dillon asked me to become his
wife. We were married, aud l soon discov-
cred that my wretched, friendless position
had been exchanged for one of still greater
misery. / had become united to a man from
whose vile. wicked life my whole nature
turned in loathing. One evening in a fit of
drunken fury he struck me. That night I
fed from his house. During the. year that
followed / succeeded in supporting myself
comfortably on the proceeds of needlework.
Two months before chance had made me ac-
quainted with you, Melville, | had learned
accidentally of my husbands death in
France. You know what followed. To-day
/ learn. for the first time since our marriage.
that Mark Dillon lives"
20 God can this be true ?"
The words seemed wrung from the very
depth of Melville ,Austin's ~agonized soul.
Staring first at his wife, and then at the
moody, crestfallen man beside her, his face
expressed the keenest intensity of mental
suffering. And now the icy calmness with
which Dora had spoken melted to a passion
of sobs.
Stealing towards her husbands side, she
murmured brokenly " Before we part, Mel
vile, say that you forgive me for being the
cause of SO much futurSagretchedness- for
having brought TO your noble heart a sorrow
IL has so little deserved"
Part, Dora? We must not-we shall not
part ~
He had drawn her TO his breast, with a
wild, impulsive movement. At the same in
slant the door Of the studio was suddenly
Enclosed and a woman's voice cried out in
clear, ringing tones Mark Dillon lies,

You came here this morning to sell your
silence. Is II not so ?"
You are perfectly right, Mrs. Austin-or
Mrs. Dillon. Which is it to be, by the wayp"
His tones were defantly supercilious his
keen, cruel eyes were fixed upon the agonized
woman with something of a serpent's pitiless
gaze when the prey Is within easy distance
and possession has become a certainty.
But Mark Dillon started back with amaze
ment as Dora answered him, calmly, scorn-
fully and decisively in the following words:
II shall not deceive o man TO whom l owe
all the happiness ! have ever enjoyed in this
world-the man whom / love, honor and rev.

The Confederate Colony In Mexico.
E-o.. n. pbS1,ao u.xoId

lFTDNN ~ ttu Fot
The late ex-Congressman Bernard Caul1eld,
whose death at Deadwood suggested 30 many inter
esting Incidents In his career here In Chicago, was
the only nlinoisan who Joined the colony of ex-
Confederates In Mexico. The band was made up
of disheartened Southerners who felt, after the
success Of the Northern armies, just as confident
that life in the States would be full of humiliation
az they had been at the beginning Of the war that
their new Confederacy would be a glorious success.
Caulneld was q man full OF sentiment aud the sort
Of character to fraternize with q group Of we'll
bred, high-spirited but discouraged and saddened
Southerners. The Illinoisan was Of the party who
called on Alexander Stephens, the famous Vice
President of the COnfederacy, TO urge him to Join
the colonists- The great Georgian stuDbornly re-
fused to leave the country.
80 But these Yankees will hang you II you stay
behind, " urged the men VINO were ready TO take mp
their journey for their new country and who hated
to leave behind them an associate whose devotion,
intelligence and courage had been 30 wonderfully
well proved. - would rather hang here in the
United States, said Stephens, than live any
where outside of 1t. The reply made Alexander
Stephens half as much admired in the North as he
was loved In the South. The Mexican colony
proved a dreadful failure. Some OF the party 70:
turned to their old homes, but very few. Most Of
them went 10 South America. handful remained
in the country of the Montezumas. Cauineld re-
turned finally to Chicago, but he would never ad-
init that he had been q colonist. He had gone, he
claimed, simply as their counsel NoDody dared
press the subject very closely with him.
